BOLETUS aquamosus. With. ed. 3. 323.
Perhaps one of the most mutable of this tribe of plants, whence it is called B. polymorphus by Bulliard, t. 114. The moll curious is the branched variety, figured in Phil. Tranf. abr. pl. 20. f. 109. at p. 705. and in Bolton, by the name of B. rangiferinus, tab. 138. These both grew in cellars: mine was taken from the bark of a tree at Willoughby, Lincolnshire, by Mr. Thomas Ordoyno. I have seen a fan-shaped variety growing in the Apothecaries Garden at Chelsea, full three feet wide.
TAB. CCLXVII.
HYDNUM auriscalpium. Linn. Sp. Pl. 1648. Huds. 629.
Found most frequently on the rotting cones of Pinus sylvestris, or Scotch Fir; sometimes on the Pine leaves. It can by no means be a variety of H. imbricatum Linn, as Dr. Withering, after Linnaeus, hints. Not to mention the place of growth, size, and difference of structure, the substance is very different.
TAB. CCLXVIII.
LYCOPERDON aurantiacum. Bull. 270. With. ed. 3. 379.
Sometimes found in clutters, often singly; and in a young state it looks somewhat like L. cervinum. N. B. The little circle No. 1. in the plate contains the powder or feeds mixed with gum arabic.
